“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:52

We had a beautiful summer here. After years of drought and range fires, we finally got some much needed rain and a mild summer full of beautiful days. We usually homeschool all year with breaks when the weather is nice. This year we enjoyed the nice weather with a few breaks of homeschool! The children aren't complaining. Lest you think they didn't learn what they needed to for their ages, let me assure you the outdoor activity is always worth much, much more. When they do sit down for "school", their minds are much more eager to learn and while the "books" may seem like a drudgery, their curious minds are soaking in and begging for information beyond what the books can offer. It's amazing to see how fast they "catch up" after a longer than "normal" pause in academics.

I'm not going to get overly "Biblical" with you about what Feast of Trumpets is and why we celebrate it. I went into all that last year. If you'd like to read it, find it HERE. This year I felt led (It's been brewing for some time...) to start a linkup with some other Hebrew Roots bloggers. I'm super excited to share this with you because I know in addition to my lovely co-hostesses, there will be linking up some wonderful sites & articles full of exceptional information, recipes & craft ideas.
If you don't think you are the least bit interested in the Feasts of the Lord, I encourage you to check these out anyway because most of this information can help you in preparation for Thanksgiving and other holidays you do celebrate with your family. If you homeschool, I'm sure there will be some great historical unit study ideas as well!
The Feast of Trumpets starts the evening of September 13th this year. We'll be dipping apple slices in honey & drinking sparkling apple cider while the children have fun trying to get their horns to blow... Now, I'm off to clean my frig to make room for the fresh apples we will be using to make Apple Crisp, Baked Apples, Granny's Apple Grunt, & maybe even an Apple Strudel... (Strudel is one of our Home Extension club County Fair projects this year... It's going to take some courage on my part for this one!) You all have a wonderful Rosh Hashanah!
